Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
Well guys,
I received my seat yesterday, and of course, needed to install it immediately to see how it looked! It looks sooooo nice considering that all of this was done long-distance, with not much contact!!!! I am truly appreciative of Clem's efforts to make this a monumental milestone! Hats-off to Clem & Scottybob for making this happen!!!! I really think that the seat makes the entire interior POP!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
This is outstanding. Not just the how, but the what........ I think you could build a truck around just having that seat. It just shows again, there is a place for true craftsmanship. Well done all.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
Thanks man!
I am overwhelmed with the look! Thanks!!! They almost looks like black & white pics, don't they? Thanks!!! Ya think??? Thanks Greg, but you would need to fight my girlfriend for it! LOL! Quote:
Great thanks for all of your efforts on MY seat! Everyone that looks at it asks me where I bought it...LOL! It is soooo comfy too!..I made an excellent choice to pick you to help me out with this. Again, many thanks! Quote:
I kept the baggy on it while there was no carpet, and it was getting thrown every which-way!...Baggy is now in the trash! Quote:
I am going thru some personal issues right now, but the way that the truck ran today on it's maiden voyage, makes me say that I could probably drive it anywhere!...but I only put 40 miles on it....LOL!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
Thanks Greg!
I really appreciate it! Messed around the past two weeks at different times trying to get the transmission to shift correct, but because it has a dipstick that is only about 12" long it winds up in between the headers & engine block, so it is impossible to check when running. Long story short, I obtained a different dipstick from a tranny shop, and realized that I was almost 3 qts, low on fluid... Now this thing shifts so mild when driving normal, that you can hardly feel it, but if you stand on it, the truck gets all squirrely hitting second. I am not talking about just squalking the tires, but rather spinning them for a great deal of time! I like it a lot! This thing is a true rocket-ship, and I am impressed! I put about 150 miles on it this weekend, and sat in stand-still traffic during the Grand Rapids Metro-cruise, and the temp never got above 195 degrees. the only issue that I had was that one of my super-sweet billet power window switches fell apart when I shut the door, but it was because the billet piece was not glued on properly. I fixed it with some 3M trim adhesive. LOL! What a great weekend! No pics, because in all of my excitement I neglected to take any, but hopefully some will surface due to my friends...

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
After a weekend of cruzin' it, on Sunday morning I took it back to my parent's house to put it away, and snapped a few pics before putting it in the barn.
...It started pouring out about 3 minutes after getting it inside! I still need to sand & rub the front cowl extensions & hood, in order to have a finish like the rest of the truck, but it really looks good regardless. I had a blast this past weekend...
